part number for an older V8?

I think the bit I'd need is a kind of plate that holds the air filter onto its assembly, plus makes sure the air enters the filter at the filtering side rather than the non-filtering hole.

does anybody happen to know the part number?

I think I gather no-one has yet put a parts catalogue for 1972 into an electronic version, so the way it's looking, I may even have to consider a dead tree version.

I gather there's an electronic catalogue for 1985 though, is it the standard EPC, or do I have to look for a specific .pdf file?

TIA,

dang! adding up the cost of fuel just to reach the nearest breaker's, goodness knows how far to the nearest old Rangie, I think I'd be better off upgrading to a more modern air intake!

I've just looked on my microcat and it shows this:

but no reference to the separate bit itself unfortunately.

Markie - renault espace air filters are pretty big and not a million miles off the shape of the LR one.

cheers guys. well, never mind, a task that'll need a bit of time to achieve.

simplest may be to order the seals, then head to a metalworks, get them to make a plate that fits the seal + has got an indent to reach the threaded bit.
